After a long winter (at least it felt that way), I picked up my new Harley Fatboy last week.
So far other than the ABS/security package I added passing lights, removable windshield and passenger backrest/luggage rack, and some luggage which attaches to the passenger backrest.
Future plans: In the short term a license holder...long term likely different pipes (big shot staggered?) and maybe some saddlebags.
Let me know your thoughts!

I like your thoughts, sounds like a great plan!
I just changed my seat, passenger backrest, bought a new luggage rack and luggage to fit on it.
